Business And Corporate Law

Starting a business is one of the most challenging endeavors any person can face. Not only are you putting a substantial amount of money at risk, but you will be devoting substantial amounts of your time to make that business a success.

Operating your own business is one of the most satisfying and gratifying experiences one can enjoy. In an employment situation, your career and income potential are determined by others, your employer. As a business owner you are able to control your own destiny.

Unfortunately, far too many people jump into business not knowing what they are getting into. They fail to take advantage of the many strategies available to minimize risk. Expectations of different partners are not addressed in the beginning to eliminate potential future conflict. Trademarks and other proprietary information is not protected. Different contingencies are not planned for. Any one of these factors can destroy a business.

Any business involves risk. Risk cannot be eliminated, but it can be greatly reduced by identifying and pursuing the best strategy for growth in the beginning. Accordingly, in the event the business does not do as well as expected, by doing your homework in the beginning, you will be prepared to address the problem and change course.

• Legal Entity Formation;
